My Electric Roman shades in the 3 living room windows are falling apart.  Does anyone know who made them and/or here to buy replacement shades ?  Thanks, Jeremy.

Jeremy,
The Roman shades in your coach are made up from several components purchased from different sources. The term "falling apart" does not give me a clue as to what your problem is.

Hi Gerald,
  It is the large pleated curtain material that is inside of the pleated blind that is disintegrating.   The mechanism has also lost one of its up/down cords that are attached to the back of the curtain.
  Time to repalce the whole system.
   Any help would be much appreciated.    Thanks,  Jeremy

Jeremy,
It sounds like you just want to replace the interior fabric. The interior drapery fabric for your coach was custom sewn in the Beaver factory. So If you want to replace it with identical or similar fabric, you will have to have them custom made.

RV Outfitters in Bend has a good deal of experience with your coach's interior, and they work closely with a former employee of the Beaver factory sewing department who purchased most of the surplus fabric from Beaver when they closed the Bend assembly line, so she may have the matching fabric.

If you decide to just replace the broken cord and replace the fabric later, the average handyman can replace the cord in a hour or so with a little help at times to hold things.

Hi Gerald,
   Thanks for the info. Apologies for taking so long to reply. Here in Baja California Sur we are hoping to find a similar material for  the 3 living room valences that will come close to matching the Mexican runner we have on the floor. If we get lucky we will get the take pics and post them for all to see.
